Last week I was invited to a special VIP I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter event in NYC to find out who would be their new spokesperson. The night before my fellow food bloggers and I tried to pry the big secret from the PR people. Was it Paula Dean? Rocco DiSpirito? Justin Bieber? We were [...]
Last week my kids, Nathan and Lucie, and I flew out to Los Angeles to join several other bloggers and their families courtesy of Frigidaire. The kids were invited to cook alongside Jennifer Garner and Chef Mary Sue Millken. The event was a filmed at the world famous Smashbox Studios for the Make Time for [...]
Last month I was invited to participate in Hillshire Farm’s Most Wanted Sandwich contest. I created the Rockin’ Mile High sandwich made up of Colorado favorites like oat bread from Rudi’s Organic Bakery, goat cheese from Haystack Mountain Goat Dairy, and bbq sauce from The Rib House in Longmont. It also honors Colorado’s cattle [...]
I had the good fortune to attend Dole’s Annual Food Blogger Summit a few weeks ago at the California Health & Longevity Institute. Sure, Dole wants to you to eat more fruit and vegetables. That’s because they’re concerned about your health and well being as much as they are concerned with their bottom line. Face [...]
If you’re a regular reader, you’ve may have noticed my new site design from Foliovision. I hope you enjoy the cleaner layout and the faster load times. I’m still tweaking a few things here and there. I’m am also working to include more food and health photography – both original and by others – along [...]
Last Sunday’s SOYJOY Brunch at the Estrela Penthouse Room at Le Parker Meridien was the perfect way to end a hectic, but wonderful BlogHer 2010 conference. Not only did I appreciate the beautiful and healthy food after overindulging all week, but the company of my fellow bloggers was a delight as well. The group was [...]
Back in June I attended an press junket put on by the California Milk Advisory Board. I learned how dairy farms operate, the sustainability of dairy production, and how cheese in made. First, it is true that California cows are happy cows. With a hard working team of farm hands and managers, nutritionists and vets [...]
My conference sponsor, SOYJOY has a lot of things going on at the BlogHer 2010 conference this week. If you’re attending BlogHer, I hope you can join us. New and improved! SOYJOY still has the same great all-natural, minimally processed ingredients, like ground whole soybeans and real fruit. But now, as a result of a [...]
This year I’ve been traveling a great deal, mostly by airplane or car. If there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s to always have food with me. One of my favorite snacks to take along are SOYJOY bars. Why? Not only do they stand up to a lot of punishment in my purse or backpack, [...]
I’ve just been chosen as one of Babble’s 50 Best Mom Food Bloggers! Not only that, but I’m #8 in the Top 10 Healthiest Eating Mom Blogs. All I can say is, “Oh my, I’m incredibly honored!” To be mentioned in the same breath as Steamy Kitchen, The Pioneer Woman Cooks, Almost Bourdain or Smitten [...]
Tomorrow I’m on my way to FitBloggin, a social media conference for those of us who blog about fitness, wellness, and good food. It’s also where I’ll be handing out probiotic chocolate bars from my sponsor to my fellow healthy lifestyle bloggers. Have chocolate, will travel, I say! When I signed up for FitBloggin last [...]
I love watching Gale Gand cook on TV. She makes baking look so easy (when I know it isn’t). And watching her cook is a good substitute for actually indulging in baked goods. (Check out Gale’s recipes here.) If you’re a fan, Gale is hosting an interactive virtual cooking demonstration this week on Thursday, December [...]
I recently attended an event at Kashi, which you can read at The DeBroff DeBrief – Day One and Day Two. (Check out Day Two for a recipe for a delicious and oh-so-healthy Corn, Tomato and Basil Salad.) I’ve been eating Kashi’s products for years, but had never cooked with their rice pilaf before. This [...]
Today is the start of my seven-week whirlwind tour of four blogging conferences and one mom blogger event. It’s not exactly around the world in 90 days, but it’ll be an adventure. After all, how could I resist two food blogging conferences, a free ticket to IzeaFest and 50% off a full access pass to [...]
